摘要: The present invention relates to a ventilation system 24 for a land vehicle 10. The ventilation system 24 comprises an inlet duct 26 for allowing exterior air to enter a cabin of the vehicle. The inlet duct 26 has a source port 38 located at an exterior of the vehicle 10 and the inlet duct 26 also has an exhaust port 40 located within a cabin of the vehicle 10. The ventilation system 24 has an outlet duct 28 for allowing interior air to exit the cabin of the vehicle 10. The outlet duct 28 has a source port 44 located within the cabin of the vehicle 10 and the outlet duct 28 also has an exhaust port 46 located at an exterior of the vehicle. The ventilation system 24 has an air propulsion element to cause selectively an airflow between the cabin interior and the vehicle exterior; wherein the source port 38 of the inlet duct 26 and the exhaust port 46 of the outlet duct 28 are collocated in a zone of substantially equivalent dynamic pressure, in-use.

摘要: The present invention relates to a windshield monitoring system, comprising; a windshield (104) for a vehicle (100); a plurality of light emitters (108) forming an array, each emitter (108) arranged to direct a beam of light into an edge of the windshield (104) at an angle of incidence arranged to subject the beam of light to total internal reflection at a windshield to air interface to propagate the beam of light across the windshield to an opposing edge thereof, and the angle of incidence being arranged to refract the light beam away from the windshield at a windshield to contaminant interface; the system comprising a light detector arranged to detect that light from the beam of light has been refracted away from the windshield; and wherein the emitters (108) are separated substantially across a length of the windshield (104).

摘要: A vehicle arrangement (20) for thawing thermal energy from and/or rejecting thermal energy to a plurality of components in a vehicle, the arrangement comprising a heat-pump assembly (12) comprising a first heat-pump section (18) at a first temperature and a second heat-pump section (22) at a second temperature different from the first temperature, and a first thermal energy distribution path (26) for transporting a first carrier fluid and extending through at least a portion of the first heat-pump section (18), and a second thermal energy distribution path (28) for transporting a second carrier fluid and extending through at least a portion of the second heat-pump section (22). The arrangement further comprises a first circulation pump (32) associated with the first thermal energy distribution path (26) for pumping the first carrier fluid around the first thermal energy distribution path and a second circulation pump (34) associated with the second thermal energy distribution path (28) for pumping the second carrier fluid around the second thermal energy distribution path. In addition the system comprises means (78-100) for selectively connecting at least one of the plurality of vehicle components to at least one of the thermal energy distribution paths so as to draw thermal energy from and/or reject thermal energy to said vehicle component or components.
